Season 5: Episode 216

 In this episode of North American Ag Spotlight, Chrissy Wozniak sits down with Jacqui Fatka, Lead Economist for Farm Supply and Biofuels at CoBank, to discuss the shifting landscape of biofuels and the growing role of aviation fuels in agriculture. With over two decades of experience in ag policy, trade, and renewable fuels, Jacqui provides valuable insights into how demand for aviation fuel is reshaping feedstock markets and creating both opportunities and challenges for U.S. farmers.

The conversation explores how federal policy is driving investment in biofuels, how aviation fuels are influencing traditional crops like corn and soy, and what new feedstock options may come into play. Jacqui shares her perspective on how producers can prepare for increased volatility, how trade and global markets tie into this shift, and what rural cooperatives and agribusinesses need to know to stay ahead.

Looking forward, Jacqui highlights the biggest hurdles to scaling aviation fuels and the role of infrastructure, investment, and innovation in meeting demand. She also previews her upcoming role as moderator of the Sustainable Aviation Fuels panel at the Women in Agribusiness Summit this September, where industry leaders will discuss biofuels investment trends and how aviation fuel adoption will impact feedstock markets.
